Great review. I have a question though. I've read that the keyboard is not the only difference between the phones. Looks like E52 has a noise canceling feature when using dedicated headphones. Please answer by replying to this message. Thanks.
I intend to get this phone but I've read some disturbing comments on it about hanging up, restarting during call and bad call quality in noisy environment due to the noise cancellation feature.
Anybody could suggest something. I really like the phone.
After listening to the phoneshow chat 3, I went back to listen to the audio quality of PS 89. I must say it is extraordinary. I sounds like it is studio recorded instead of outside directly from the phone. Great stuff!!
Review? N900? They haven't even released the thing yet! i.e. Nokia are still writing the software! I'll review it when there's production firmware and software available.
@Steve...sorry about my late reply to this video but the day you posted the video, i checked on twitter about your twit on my blackberry bold directly from my bed and then download it on my N95 8GB via pod caster and then i got freshen up ..,,i wish i can make comments on youtube videos that kind of easy way from cell phones
A lot of users are reporting bad GSM call quality in the way that when the phone are on GSM the other side of the phone call cannot really hear you. rumour are that its because of the built in noise filter you cannot turn off.
If you could try this.. go out on the street, put the phone on GSM (not 3G) and call someone.. see if they can hear you LOUD n clear.. its a shame but this has put me off buying the E52 :(
Hi. Thanks for the show. I recommend it to all my friends.
Btw. Quick question. I've installed new firmware on my E51, yet restored a backup I've made. Does this nullify the firmware upgrade? I ask because some paid software I've got like Skyequikey is cleared, re-registering might be a problem.
Another excellent video. Can't wait for the N900 review. This new device marks a new era for Nokia. Let's just hope it sells a bucket loads. N900 has everyone excited since the N95 was announced.
Well, you try uploading 100-odd MB during the day - it really annoys the heck out of your family on an ADSL line - really screws with iPlayer and the like 8-)
Please talk slower, not every one is perfect in English, thanks for the very great review ;-)

Hey Steve, I have heard some issues with the e52 that it restarts and freezes quite often. Is that true??

Hi, I live in a scandinavian country. And i was wondering how is that possible to use special letters such as "åæø" on nokia e55.
otaboka 2 years ago
There's a 'symbol' system for extra characters, but I'd also guess that the qwerty layout was slightly different for Scandinavian E55s?

No, it doesn't nullify the firmware! And if you re-reg, your existing key will still work, as the IMEI is the same 8-)
